Travel report Majorca

According to the travelogues, Palma, the capital city of the Mediterranean island of Majorca, is full of interesting tourist attractions. Founded in the second century by the Romans, Palma is much more than just a city overrun by mass tourism. Travel writers say that its special attractions include many churches, especially the Gothic cathedral of La Seu. But the Royal Palace, originally built for the Arab rulers of Majorca and today still used by the Spanish King as a residence when he visits the island, and its royal gardens are also very highly rated. Travel writers also recommend a stroll through the narrow, winding old city, which is largely free of cars and offers a unique mixture of Spanish-Catalan and Arabic influences.
